" When it comes to visual arts, the 1980s were marked by the appearance of Neo-expressionism, an art phenomenon which spurred around the globe. In general, Neo-Expressionist works are characterized by their intense expressive subjectivity, highly textural applications of paint, vividly contrasting colors and return to large-scale narrative imagery. Neo-Expressionist artists depicted their subjects in an almost raw and brutish manner, newly resurrecting in their frequently large-scale works, the highly textural and expressive brushwork and intense colors that had been rejected by the immediately preceding art movements. Critical to Warhol's reinvention of painting was the revival of the medium by the Neo-Expressionist painters . Warhol was both enamored with the new painting and challenged by it. He relished the youthful vitality of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francesco Clemente, Keith Haring, and Julian Schnabel."
